Medary, in refusing to furnish him with the reports at tho earliest hour, wo cannot give our render very Inte proceeding of the Convention. A democratic Convention allows a queer democratic repoj-toro furnish reports to the Journal, from w men me statesman's report lire copied. Col. Medary was elected aa printer to the Convention, yot he it furnished With the reports second-handed. Wo cannot reconcile this with , justice or common sense either. If ho is elected their printer, common asmse would toy that he ought to lie In rni (died with tho report beforo miy body else. A it in, lie cannot give the proceeding until t hey are a week ofd.at least. We mint therefore look elsewhere lor now from the Convention. It i not new by the time we got it through the Statesman. Wo attach no blnmo to the editor of the Statesman. Hi promptness and euorgy are univeisully known over the State. When ho tail to give tho curliest new on any subject, the blame is somewhere else. It is not in him. We are only stating the reason why we must look snme-where else for report from the Convention. Urbana Expotitor. We publish the above to contradict the impression made, no doubt by the Journal, always false in it statements, that Mr. Smith, the Reporter, is a democrat-He is not and never was a democrat. That story was out fcrth by the Ohio Slate Journal, a its other fu) sell inula are, lo hide the truth and mislead it readers. Hud he been a democrat, or even nn honest man, we would have been spared our trouble lust winter with the democrat! c member, for the manner ho treated a portion of them, while begot the whig vol for the place he now holds. The treatment we continue to receive from him i too hard to talk about. Statesman. The above is about a nice a compound ol stupid folly and downright knavery a we have seen cooked up of late. Let u look at it. Tho Expositor probably know it is stating a falsehood when it says that the Statesman U compelled to copy from the Journal. Since tho treaty of peace, made by Mrdury' famous committee of investigation into the doings of Mr. Smitb, the reporter, wo have been about even with the State am mi, and we have probably copied from that paper a often a they have copied from us. We have not been furnished with copy exclusively, and the 8 tat en man know$ it. Again, the Statesman a printer to the Convention ha no more right to demand the debates than w have. Tho Legislature fixed this business, and provided that1 tho reporter should not turuish the reports to etther paper exclusively. The Expositor exposes it iguorauco very cheap, when it talks of any right of Mednry to the reports in preference to the Journal. And let us say to this wise Exoiitor that it is no fault of the rejwrter that Medary is a woek behind with the debate. He is furnished with just as much copy as he want every day. If the Statesman hud any enterprise it would give its readers the daily proceedings, in a short notice, at the end of each day, as tho Journal has done. We have heard no whig paper complaining on this score. But it took an attendance on the debate, and ome little labor each day, which were more than " the printer " to theCuiiveniiou could afford! Will the Expositor please tell us where that " elsewhere " is to which he looks to for its intelligence, except in the Journal T But the Sta test mm says that Mr. Smith is not a Dem" orrnt, and never wa one! Well, Mr. Smith always told us he was a Democrat. We first became acquainted with him last winter, a the reporter of the legislative proceedings in the House for this same Mr. Medary! We generally get Whigs to report for us, and we never knew Medary to get any th ng bat Democrats to report the legislative proceeding. Of course we took him for a Democrat, a he wa working for the Statesman. Again, we have always spoken of him through our column as a Democrat, and, up to this time, Mr. Smith has never intimated to iu that we were mistaken. We know also that the Statesman ha never befort denied this statement. Af'er the election this spring, wherein Miliary wa defeated for delegate, Mr. Smith wrote us a letter from Buffalo, when on hi way East after a corps of reporters, mid after stating his business with us, expressed his regret that "Col. Medary" had been defeated ; that the Col. had paid nome attention to the constitutional question, and he was in hope he would be elected. Such are some of the reasons for stating a we have done, and we do again, that Mr. Smith, the ReHrtcr, is, on at) the lending political qnestious of tho day a Democrat, n Medary understand lhat term. The difference is only tliis. Like such men as judge Kennnn, Arclibold, Horsey Hprague See, ho does not think that ihe lint item iu his faith is to fall down and worship M dnry, and to do bis behests in all thing. It is i oaii- ble I Is nt progressive Democracy in that concern has gone so far ihnl thin self-sacrifice, and man-worship is the test of a man's democracy. We very well know that it is the only way a man can act to osctipo his vengeance nod innlice. Mr. Smith did not get the Whig vote in the Senate, last winter, but he did get the Locofoco vote, both of the Senate and the House. He got the Whig vote of the House because they generally liked lain as a man, uud because they thought him comjwtent. They voted for him knowing at the time that they were voting lor a Democrat t Anymore grumbling to "talk about "f Uriitg on your potatoes and we will dig tbeni, Proeeetainiftt in Congress Tho proceeding iu Congrei niton the decease of the 'resident, are of great interest We have not room fur much of them to-day. We give below the remarks of Mr. Winthrop and Mr. Marshall, in the House. Speeches were also made by Mesr. McLane, Baker, Bayly, Ililliard, and John A. King. We shall eiidea- vur to give the proceedings in the Senate to-morrow : Mr. Winthrop rose to second the resolution, and proceeded aM follows : It would not be easily excused, Mr. Speaker, by thoio wliouhsfrepresent hi this hall, if there were no MiMaclmPn8 voice to respond to the eulogy which has been pronounced by Louisiana upon her illustrious and lamented son. Indeed, neither my personal feeling nor my political relation to the living or to the dead, would permit me to remaiu altogether silent on this occasion. And yet, sir, 1 confess 1 know not how to any any thing satisfactory to myself or suitable to (he circumstances oi ttie nmir. The event which has just been officially announced has come upon us so suddenly has so overwhelmed us with mingled emotions of surprise and sadness that the ordinary forms of expression seem to lose their significance, mid one would fain how his head to the iiiow iu ailence, uniil its brst shock nut in some degree pasteo away. Uertninly, sir, no one can fail to realize that a most momentous and mysterious Providence has beeu mau ifested in our midst At a moment when, more than almost over before in our history, the destinies of our country teemed, to ull human sight, to be inseparably unsocial ed with the chanu ter and conduct of its Chief Executive Magistrate, that Magistrate ha been summoned from his post by the only messenger whose mandates he might not have defied, and has been with drawn forever from the sphere of human existence! There are those of us, 1 need not say, sir, who had looked to him with affection ami reverence as our chosen lender aud guide in the difficulties and perplexities by which we are surrounded. There are those of us who had relied confidently on him, as iimn no other man, to uphold the constitution aim maintain tho Union of the country in that future upon which "clouds and darkness" may well be said to rest. And, as we now behold him, borne away by the band of God from our i if fit iu tho vorT hour nf neril. we mn banllv n-nreaa the exclamation, which waa applied to the departing propiieiiH ouu "my latimr, my lutlieri incciianoi ol Israel, and the horseman thereof.'1 Let me not even seem to imply, however, that tho death of General Tatlor is any thing leas than anatiou-al Ins. There may be, and we know there is. in this eveut, a privileged and pre-eminent grief for his immediate family ana relative, to which we can only oiler t i' 1. . i. im r. a peculiar sorrow for his political friends and supported, which we would nut affect to conceal. But the whole leople of the United States will feel and bear wiiueris, when tliuy receive these melancholy tiding, that they have all been called to sustain a most afflicting national bereavement. 1 hazard nothings sir, in saying, that the roll of our Chief Magistrate, since 1789 illustrious as it is, presorts thu numo of no mau who has enjoyed a higher re in tut ion with hi contemporaries, or who will enjoy u higher reputation with posterity than Zachaky Tailor, fur some nf ihe best and noblest qualities which a iloru our mil u re. Hiniudoiniiiitable courage, hi unimpeachable honesty, his Spartan simplicity and sagacity, his frankness, kind-nesK, moderation, and mttgnaniinity, his fidt-Hiy to his friends, his generosity and humauuv tohisenemies, the purity of hi private lift, the patriotism of bis public principles, will nev r cease to be cherished in the grateful remembrance of all just men and all true heart-1 ad American. Asa Soldier and a General, hi fume is associated with some of the proudest and most thrilling scenes of our military history. He may be literally said to oave couquereu every enemy he nas met, save oiuy ilmt last enemy, to which we must all, in turn, surrender.As a civilian and statesman, during the brief period ih which he has been permitted to enjoy thepre-eminent honors which a grateful oouutry had awarded him, be has given a proof of devotion to duty, of an attachment to the constitution and tho Union, of a patriotic desire to mnintain the peace of our country, which no trials or temntations rntild ah:k. lie has Home bis faculties meekly, but firmly. He has been " clenr in hfs great office.

Certainly sir, he has died too soon for everv bodv but liiina,ir. Wn can hardly find it ia our hearts to repine, that the good uiu moii nua gone to ins rest, wo cannot giudgo the repose in which the brave old soldier sleeps. His art in lite had been lonur und faithfully nerlhrmed. Iu his own last word, "he hud alwavs done hia dutv. and was not afraid to die."

Thurstou, delegate from Oregon, has writ ten a letter in teply to an inquiry from Horace Maim in which he states that slave labor eon bo profitably em. pioyrd in Oregon, California and New Mexico. He found hi opinions on the simple fact that wages are high in those districts, that consequently there is a de-maud for labor, and slave labor, being capital, would follow the laws of capital, aud go where there is the most demand for it. Now it seems lo us, be has forgot' ten another law of capital to go only where it Is safo. The question arises whether among tho doserta, fast nesses, and mountain of New Mexico and California, slave capital would be safe. Or to say nothing of the facilities of deserting to them rocks and hiding places, outd not a slave easily secrete enough to pay bis pas sage to a foreign country. The argument ot Mr. Thurs ton would prove that slavery would be profitable in Ohio, which the actual experiment would soon prove the opjHisite. So we think it would in California. That kind of capital which, like slave labor, possesses the power of voluntary locomotion, must be tried by law peculiar to itself. 7We learn that there have been several cases of holera within a day or two past, and that yesterday afternoon a man died iu the south-east part of the city.

Tho newnpajiar of the country are now rife with speculations ab'out the administration of Fillmore, its policy on tho disputed questions of the day, ihe cabinet, &c. Of course there is much labor of love expen ded iu the premises. Almost every Alitor and writer feels culled upon, to construct a cabinet, and to make out a line of policy wherein they are to travel. We have no means of knowing what course win ue pursued, other than that which is common to all citizens. Wo have known President Fillmore, iu his pub lie career, us one of Uie firmest, most intelligent, and most patriotic whig of tho nation. We remember him as the gallant leader of the whig House of Repre sentatives in 1842, aud, as chairman of the committee of Ways and Means, the main architoct of framing the Tariff of that year, and the most able defender of il during its passage through Congress, By hisnctsthen, he became thoroughly identified with the doctrine of protection to Americanindustry. His career as Comptroller nf the State of New York, was eminently successful and popular; and ho only retired tfierefroin when the people of the nation called upon him lo fill tho chair of Vice President of these States. No man is more thoroughly identified with the leading measures of whig policy thau.tho President His sympathies, his party associations, the mature convictions of his sobor judgment, all go to make him a whig.' As such, bo hus nlwi,s preaenled himself to tho peo ple, both of New York aud the nation. As such, ho has been frequently elected to places of great honor and trust. As such, he was nominated and elected to the Vice Presidency and, a inch, he now succeeds to the Presidential chair. We therefore expect he will carry out the policy to which he bo so long been attached. We have no fear upon this score. Wo shall expect that he will continue the same itolicy that had beeu marked out, and adopted by President Taylor. There is no disguising the fact that that policy wu fast winning to its support nut only the leading minds, but the mass of the American people. The " bitter end" policy that hus been pur sued, with so much rancor, and zeal by his opponents, who lost place and power by bis advent, for a time suc ceeded in prejudicing the public mind against the wise and torn pe rnto measures of tho President. But time, which sets "all things even," wo fast regulating this business, and, iu regard to the vexatious questions that aro uow pending beforo Congress, the policy of the resident was vindicating its superior wisdom, aud for cing a conviction of its excellence upon even unwil ling minds, all over the laud. Wo observe that some papers are disposed to think that Ihe new administration will change this policy, and bo more inclined to placo itself on tho plan of the compromise, as embodied in tho famous " Omnibus bill." We do not know tho process of reasoning by which any person come to this result. If we know anything f public opinion, especially iu the whig states of the Union, it is most decisive and emphatic iu favor of Pre- lent Taylor' plan over that of Mr. toote' Omnibus -heme. And we cannot, for a moment believe thu1 resident Fillmore is disposed to go over to the enemy, nd thus desert the friend of President Taylor in the position they have so long and to ably occupied. Wo hove not boen able to discover any thing in the aspect of our affairs that makes such a course advisable. We do uot believe that any such reasons exist. In Ohio, we think we risk nothing in saying that ihe Omnibus bill measure has no party to austuiu or defend It does not appeal to the judgment of our citizens a measure of practical wisdom. We say It, to ihe praise of the democratic party of Ohio, that, though heir great leader, Gen. Cass, 1 identified with this measure, and though tho great body of the friends and advocates of it are democrat ; yet so far a they have given an opinion, they have given it in favor of Taylor' plan, and against the plan of their leader. They have found public opinion in Ohio so potent and unanimous upon this subject that they have not dared to array themselves against it, and have beeu forced along by the current to subscribe to the policy of Gen. Taylor. The late democratic C omentum iu this city, emphat ically condemned Gen. Cass, and upheld Gen. Taylor, when they resolved that the Democracy of Ohio wa in favor of the immediate admission ol California, aud New Mexico, without (he restrictions of the Omnibus bill. Such is public opinion in Ohio, There is no doubt on the subject. Such, wo believe to be public opinion if the north, generally. Such, moreorpecially, we be lieve to bo tho opinion of tho Whigs of Ihe W lug States: il wo can see no motive whatever, that should induce he new administration to change tho course of affairs, We desire every man should desire thnt this slave- i-y question should bo settled, so far as tho General Government is concerned; wo desire to get the discus sion of it removed from the Hulls of Congress. But we will not consent to sacrifice everything to obtain that result; more especially, aa the south insist upon unjust and improper terms. We see no good rqasnn why Con gress should not take up the various questions pending, separately, and determino each npon it own intrinsic merit With the vote npon these, both parties should be satisfied; or, if not satisfied, should at least submit to the majority. We see no good reaspn why Congress should legislate with pistol and dagger drawn upon them, and refuso to decide national questions properly ltr ear that one portion will violently resist such a de cision. Iu 183o, the South triumphed on the vital ques tion of Protection. The North submitted. No threat nf armed resistanceof dissolution was heard. Why, then, should there be now; and if there is, why should it bo heeded, and it be allowed to influence the mind or vote of any member of Congress T Frederick Douglasa. This black orator, who has attained so great notori ety for his bold assaults on our institutions, spoke in the State House yesterday at 3 and 7 P. M. Many uf our citizeus, induced by curiosity, went to hear him. In his first sWl'ch, he dwelt chiefly on the injustice of American shivery, aud defended himself from the barge of treason brought against him for his speeches in Englund, and disunion sentiments, by saying, he had country to which he could prove a traitor. At 7, r. M., ho spoko on the future destiny of the African race in America, and argued that the prejudico against color would be gradually obliterated, and the two races would live on oquid terms, as expatriation wasimpossible. Douglass has a fine voice for speaking, and uses ex-ltent language, and we think if his talents were em ployed iu some practical scheme for the improvement of his race, that bo might effect much. At night, some half grown boys in the gallery eu- denvored to create a disturbance by stamping, which waaliowoverprwiMPWyB down by the orderly por tion of our citizens. We detest this spirjt of monocra cy, particularly when exercised against the weak, however obnoxious their sentiment are. If Individ ual do not wish to hear what is said at a public moot ing, let them stay away, and not disturb those who wish to hear. Such conduct is a violation of the equal rights of a portion of the community. The public press, while condemning all suchdoctrine as those ad vocated by Douglass, ought to be equally prompt in rebuking the mob spirit, which in its fickleness may soou le turned against some better cause, and persecution will only strengthen a bad cause, aa all experience demonstrates.

The Statesman ou Eulogies). Wo did nut feel very bad because the editor of the Statesman did not attempt to eulogise Gen. Taylor. Tho editor bus neither the head nor tho heart to do nuy thing but a botched job if he should undertake it. On Monday he hod several wise aud witty sayings about the subject. He says: "Our grief may have been as sincere, but not as silly. Our regrets may nave been us disinterested, though not as ridiculous. The true mourner does not go out iu the streets and say aloud, ' O just see how I weep ! ' but rather grieves silently in spirit and in truth." Wo had the curiosity toturu back the file of tire Statesman to the time of Gen. Jackson's death, for the purpose uf seeing how this philosopher, this silent mourner, this disinterested patriot, got along with thai case, uud lo ! wo found literary gems of tho very lira! water. Wo extract two of them for the benefit of our renders, that they may see the way the Statesman has of being grieved "silently, iu spirit and iu truth: " From tho Ohio HtaWmnn of June 1 1th. 1845.

Here, gentle reader, is presented to you tho true ilemocratic way of mourning. Thus do good demo crats silently weep over fallen greatness, cut off from ai'th. We don't thmk we could improve the sinking beauty of the ubovo extracts by any comcnts we could bestow. If tho absurdly ridiculous has any profouiuler lenth. then God help the mau that tumbles into it. The idea of the Statesman, under tho editorial control of, Mr. Medary, announcing "the still more glorious tri umphs" of Gen. Jucksou " in n world of bliss," and that this inexpressible privilege was vouchsafed to him before he retired from the control of that paper to private life! is so splendidly silly, so incomparably ridicu lous, that it could only be eclipsed by ihe same great intellect on a similar eventful subject We congratulate the public that Medary 1ms discov ered, within the last five years, that "silent grief" is altogether a superior article to any form of woe that he could devise. For the credit of the press and the :ity, and tho few friends he has left, wo are glad he lid not "go into the streets and suy aloud: 'Oh. just see how I weep!"

They will be read with mournlul interest by the Americau people: Mr. Webster raid: Mr. Secretary, at atimewh the great funis of our follow citizens enjoy remarkable health and happhie inrougii nit f tie wtiole country, il has pleased Divine Providence to visit the two Houses of Congress, and especially this House, with repeated occasions for mourning and lamentation.

Truly sir, was it uid iu the communication read t in. that a " great man has fallen among u." The Uie President of the United States, originally a soldier by profession, having gone through n long mid splendid ca reer of military service, had, at the roe of the lalo war with Mexico, Imcome so much endeared to the people of the United States, and h id inspired them with so high a degree of regard and confidence, that without solicitation or application, without pursuing any devious paths of policy, nr turning a hair's hi end th to the right or the left from the path of duiy.a great and pow erful, and gotiernus people saw tit, by popular vote mid voice, to confer upon him the highest civil authority in the nation. Ve cannot lorget Ili a as in other instances so iu this, the public feeling was won and carried away, in some degree, ny the eclat ol military renow n. So it has been always, mid so it always will bo, because high respect for noble feat iu arms Ins been, ami id way will bo ontMiiircd I nun the hearts ol the mem bers nf a popular government Hut it will lie a great mistake to suppose that the Into President of the Uni ted States owed Ins advancement to nigh civil trust, ot itis great acceptability with the people, to military tnl cut or ability alone. I believe sir, th it associated with tho highest admiration for tlulke qualities possessed by hiui, there waa spread thmuirhout the community n high degree ot conhdence and laitli in his integrity and honor and uprightness as a man. 1 believe he was e. pecinlly regnrded as both a firm and a mild man in the exerriao of authority. And I have observed tnorethm once, in una and in other popular govoniments. Hint the provuleut motive wiih the masses of mankind for conferring high power on individual, is a confidence in their mildness, their pntTiial, protecting, secure nnd safe character.

Mr. Secretary, mv friend from Louisiana (Mr. Downs) has detailed briefly the events in the military career of General Taylor. His service through life was mostly on the frontier, and always a hard service often in combat with the tribes of indiaus all along the frontier for so many thousands ol miles. It has beeu justly remarked by one nf ihe most eloquent men whose voire was ever heard in those houses, that it is not in Indian 1 war that heroes am celebrated, but it is there th it i they are formed. The hard servico, tho stern disciji-liue, devolving upon all those who have a great extent nf frontier hi defend, and often wiih irregular troops of their own, being called on suddenly to outer into con-1 tests with savages, to study the habits of savage 1 fe and savage war, in order to foresee nnd overcome their stratagem il these thing tend to make hardy mm-1 tary eharncler.

Senators, am not surprised lhat the cnthusiistic spirit of the American people led them to support a man whose pa triotism, whoso devotion to his country, whose gallantry, and whose successful service on the field, must have endeared him to the lienrls of all. As a man, nave suiil, he waa honeat ol purpose. Hit pntriolism, his devotion tn iho constitution of bis country, under which he cherished these tree institutions, 1 have nev- rnuesttoned.

I am permitted to say, in illustration of tho ttrong and patriotic feeling which animated him in the latest moments of his existence, even when the light of intellect was flickering in it socket I am permitted to repeat the expression of the departed patriot, as his recollection turned to tho recent visit he had made to the . monument now being erected to the memory of Washington, " Let it rise, (he said,) let it ascend without interruption ; lot it point to the skies let it stand forev er, as a lasting monument of the gratitude and affection of a free people to tho Father of his Country." xuo ucBuoii wan mi, auu uie resolutions were unanimously agreed to.

The treaty of Gaudaloupo Hidulgo provi-detl for run u in g the line as follows : " Begimiiugatthe point where the Rio Grande strike the Southern Iwundnry 0f New Mexico; thence weat-wardly, along the whole Southern boundary of New Mexico, (whuh mn nor.h of the town called El Pato,) to it Western termination ; thence Northward, along the Western line of New Mexico, until it intersects the ' first branch of the River Gila, or if it should nut intersect any branch of that river, then to the point on the said line nearest to such brauch, and thence in a direct liue to the same." The determination of this line is the most diffioult part of the whole survey, as it exteuds along an irag- , i nary line, which has been the bouudary between the" States of Chihuahua aud New Mexico since the earliest settlement of Uie country. But as nothing is known of the country along tins line, and as the maps all dif-. fer in defining it, it may prove a serious obstacle, as it provides lor the boundary a laid down in DitturajeH'e map of Mexico, published iu 18-17, which map, we be. lieve, it a Mexican map, reprinted in New York, wiifc . some additiuu. After striking th? River Gila, the dif. liculiiesu fur a determining the line are overcome. This is a niural bouudary, and the Commissioners will only have to trace this river to its junciion with the Colorado, near the head or gulf ot'OjIif .rnia. Alter eom. pletiug this portion of the line, the Oummittiuntrt will return to El Paso, and trace this river a.m twulva hnn. dred miles, until it mingles its water with those of the Gulf of Mexico. Tins will be the most extensive line of survev evr made in the Uuited States, extending more than two thousand miles, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and mostly through a country scarcely kuowo, except by c iaMu mmiii ui au army, wiiuum any opportunity to examine its resources. To Bccompluh tuch a work, beyond the bounds of civilization, where for seven or eight hundred mile there exist neither village nor hamlet, and where the lord of the toil ttifl maintain their independence, in Humbert and in strength tar surpassing that ot an tribe east nf the Rocky M ouu tains, it a task uot unattended with difficulties. The organization of a party of eighty or a buudred men, consul in a: of engineer. surveyors, and their assistants, and a large body of mechanics and laborers, to lake the field for two or three years, is a matter requiring much preparation. In regard to the organization of the Commission, we leant that it will cousist of three complete and separate parties uf engineers, surveyors, and their attendant. One of these kt to run and mark the boundary between the United States aud Mexico, agreeable to the treaty ( the others st mak examinations, surveys, aud run hue of level from the Rio Grande to the P itic, a required by the sixth article of the treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, which provides for the examination of ttie country, aud the collection of information relative to the con struction of a "mud, canal or railway. Such an examination at it contemplated In thit article, must be an accurate survey to be of any value. A military rocon nuisance was made by 01. Emory, in hit rapid march with General Kearney, whkh, at far at ft goct, is verygood t but no examination was made be yond Ihe line of march, at it was nut possible) hence, we are in total ignorance at to the practicability of a communication across for either a road or a railway. It is possible that an accurate survey of the country on both side of the Gila, at provided for in the treaty, may open tn ua valley which may present a direct ami practicable mute tn California. If it should prove practicable for a railway, then ihe most serious obstacle is obviated in the construction of the Great Railway connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific. From ihe Rio Grande, this great channel of communication, whether a mem road or railway, might le connected with the contemplated railroad to Missouri, Arkansas, or Text, a might be found most expedient It it to be hoped that the opportunity which will be presented by the ow movement! of the engineer, necessary in an accurate examination of the extensive region norih and south of the Gila, may be embraced to send a corps of trientifio men to accompany the commission. This cars should consist of skilful geol-ogistt and mineralogists, botanists, naturalists, artists, &c. It is fif the highest importance that we should know, as soon as possible, what are the re onrces of the vhI aud unexplored region lying north nf the Gila, lietween the Uio del Norte and the Pacific. Much of it is doubtless a desert, while another portion, we have every mason lo believe, is a rich diluvial country. The valley of iho groat Colorado and iu tributary streams, are known to sustain large tribes of ludisns; and the waters of thrse united river, at they empty themselves into the Gulf of California, come charged with wa hi tigs from the hind similar to that presented by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. But the soil aud agricultural resources ot this region are not the only inducements lore scientific exploration of it. Its metalt and minerals are of great imMtrtance Copper and lead.it is known, abide near the Gil. Mines of quicksilver, of greater value than gold itself, were formerly known hero, and some are still worked in western California. Gold was found by the Span-tarda who conquer d the country in l.'50-litU, and the numerous evidences of silver mines still tn be traced hem, show the extent tn which this metal exist throughout the country. This region, once occupied by the Spaniards, has long since been reclaimed by ihe Indians; but tho ruins of deserted villages, with ifeep aunkeu pits whence ihe om was extracted, mark the extent to which the Spaniards had ex tend til their settlements, and from what source they derived their support. From ihe alight examinations made by Col. Emory in hw rrconnoistan.ee of the Gila, and of Col..

Medary, in refusing to furnish him with the reports at tho earliest hour, wo cannot give our render very Inte proceeding of the Convention. A democratic Convention allows a queer democratic repoj-toro furnish reports to the Journal, from w men me statesman's report lire copied. Col. Medary was elected aa printer to the Convention, yot he it furnished With the reports second-handed. Wo cannot reconcile this with , justice or common sense either. If ho is elected their printer, common asmse would toy that he ought to lie In rni (died with tho report beforo miy body else. A it in, lie cannot give the proceeding until t hey are a week ofd.at least. We mint therefore look elsewhere lor now from the Convention. It i not new by the time we got it through the Statesman. Wo attach no blnmo to the editor of the Statesman. Hi promptness and euorgy are univeisully known over the State. When ho tail to give tho curliest new on any subject, the blame is somewhere else. It is not in him. We are only stating the reason why we must look snme-where else for report from the Convention. Urbana Expotitor. We publish the above to contradict the impression made, no doubt by the Journal, always false in it statements, that Mr. Smith, the Reporter, is a democrat-He is not and never was a democrat. That story was out fcrth by the Ohio Slate Journal, a its other fu) sell inula are, lo hide the truth and mislead it readers. Hud he been a democrat, or even nn honest man, we would have been spared our trouble lust winter with the democrat! c member, for the manner ho treated a portion of them, while begot the whig vol for the place he now holds. The treatment we continue to receive from him i too hard to talk about. Statesman. The above is about a nice a compound ol stupid folly and downright knavery a we have seen cooked up of late. Let u look at it. Tho Expositor probably know it is stating a falsehood when it says that the Statesman U compelled to copy from the Journal. Since tho treaty of peace, made by Mrdury' famous committee of investigation into the doings of Mr. Smitb, the reporter, wo have been about even with the State am mi, and we have probably copied from that paper a often a they have copied from us. We have not been furnished with copy exclusively, and the 8 tat en man know$ it. Again, the Statesman a printer to the Convention ha no more right to demand the debates than w have. Tho Legislature fixed this business, and provided that1 tho reporter should not turuish the reports to etther paper exclusively. The Expositor exposes it iguorauco very cheap, when it talks of any right of Mednry to the reports in preference to the Journal. And let us say to this wise Exoiitor that it is no fault of the rejwrter that Medary is a woek behind with the debate. He is furnished with just as much copy as he want every day. If the Statesman hud any enterprise it would give its readers the daily proceedings, in a short notice, at the end of each day, as tho Journal has done. We have heard no whig paper complaining on this score. But it took an attendance on the debate, and ome little labor each day, which were more than " the printer " to theCuiiveniiou could afford! Will the Expositor please tell us where that " elsewhere " is to which he looks to for its intelligence, except in the Journal T But the Sta test mm says that Mr. Smith is not a Dem" orrnt, and never wa one! Well, Mr. Smith always told us he was a Democrat. We first became acquainted with him last winter, a the reporter of the legislative proceedings in the House for this same Mr. Medary! We generally get Whigs to report for us, and we never knew Medary to get any th ng bat Democrats to report the legislative proceeding. Of course we took him for a Democrat, a he wa working for the Statesman. Again, we have always spoken of him through our column as a Democrat, and, up to this time, Mr. Smith has never intimated to iu that we were mistaken. We know also that the Statesman ha never befort denied this statement. Af'er the election this spring, wherein Miliary wa defeated for delegate, Mr. Smith wrote us a letter from Buffalo, when on hi way East after a corps of reporters, mid after stating his business with us, expressed his regret that "Col. Medary" had been defeated ; that the Col. had paid nome attention to the constitutional question, and he was in hope he would be elected. Such are some of the reasons for stating a we have done, and we do again, that Mr. Smith, the ReHrtcr, is, on at) the lending political qnestious of tho day a Democrat, n Medary understand lhat term. The difference is only tliis. Like such men as judge Kennnn, Arclibold, Horsey Hprague See, ho does not think that ihe lint item iu his faith is to fall down and worship M dnry, and to do bis behests in all thing. It is i oaii- ble I Is nt progressive Democracy in that concern has gone so far ihnl thin self-sacrifice, and man-worship is the test of a man's democracy. We very well know that it is the only way a man can act to osctipo his vengeance nod innlice. Mr. Smith did not get the Whig vote in the Senate, last winter, but he did get the Locofoco vote, both of the Senate and the House. He got the Whig vote of the House because they generally liked lain as a man, uud because they thought him comjwtent. They voted for him knowing at the time that they were voting lor a Democrat t Anymore grumbling to "talk about "f Uriitg on your potatoes and we will dig tbeni, Proeeetainiftt in Congress Tho proceeding iu Congrei niton the decease of the 'resident, are of great interest We have not room fur much of them to-day. We give below the remarks of Mr. Winthrop and Mr. Marshall, in the House. Speeches were also made by Mesr. McLane, Baker, Bayly, Ililliard, and John A. King. We shall eiidea- vur to give the proceedings in the Senate to-morrow : Mr. Winthrop rose to second the resolution, and proceeded aM follows : It would not be easily excused, Mr. Speaker, by thoio wliouhsfrepresent hi this hall, if there were no MiMaclmPn8 voice to respond to the eulogy which has been pronounced by Louisiana upon her illustrious and lamented son. Indeed, neither my personal feeling nor my political relation to the living or to the dead, would permit me to remaiu altogether silent on this occasion. And yet, sir, 1 confess 1 know not how to any any thing satisfactory to myself or suitable to (he circumstances oi ttie nmir. The event which has just been officially announced has come upon us so suddenly has so overwhelmed us with mingled emotions of surprise and sadness that the ordinary forms of expression seem to lose their significance, mid one would fain how his head to the iiiow iu ailence, uniil its brst shock nut in some degree pasteo away. Uertninly, sir, no one can fail to realize that a most momentous and mysterious Providence has beeu mau ifested in our midst At a moment when, more than almost over before in our history, the destinies of our country teemed, to ull human sight, to be inseparably unsocial ed with the chanu ter and conduct of its Chief Executive Magistrate, that Magistrate ha been summoned from his post by the only messenger whose mandates he might not have defied, and has been with drawn forever from the sphere of human existence! There are those of us, 1 need not say, sir, who had looked to him with affection ami reverence as our chosen lender aud guide in the difficulties and perplexities by which we are surrounded. There are those of us who had relied confidently on him, as iimn no other man, to uphold the constitution aim maintain tho Union of the country in that future upon which "clouds and darkness" may well be said to rest. And, as we now behold him, borne away by the band of God from our i if fit iu tho vorT hour nf neril. we mn banllv n-nreaa the exclamation, which waa applied to the departing propiieiiH ouu "my latimr, my lutlieri incciianoi ol Israel, and the horseman thereof.'1 Let me not even seem to imply, however, that tho death of General Tatlor is any thing leas than anatiou-al Ins. There may be, and we know there is. in this eveut, a privileged and pre-eminent grief for his immediate family ana relative, to which we can only oiler t i' 1. . i. im r. a peculiar sorrow for his political friends and supported, which we would nut affect to conceal. But the whole leople of the United States will feel and bear wiiueris, when tliuy receive these melancholy tiding, that they have all been called to sustain a most afflicting national bereavement. 1 hazard nothings sir, in saying, that the roll of our Chief Magistrate, since 1789 illustrious as it is, presorts thu numo of no mau who has enjoyed a higher re in tut ion with hi contemporaries, or who will enjoy u higher reputation with posterity than Zachaky Tailor, fur some nf ihe best and noblest qualities which a iloru our mil u re.

He may be literally said to oave couquereu every enemy he nas met, save oiuy ilmt last enemy, to which we must all, in turn, surrender.As a civilian and statesman, during the brief period ih which he has been permitted to enjoy thepre-eminent honors which a grateful oouutry had awarded him, be has given a proof of devotion to duty, of an attachment to the constitution and tho Union, of a patriotic desire to mnintain the peace of our country, which no trials or temntations rntild ah:k. lie has Home bis faculties meekly, but firmly.

Certainly sir, he has died too soon for everv bodv but liiina,ir. Wn can hardly find it ia our hearts to repine, that the good uiu moii nua gone to ins rest, wo cannot giudgo the repose in which the brave old soldier sleeps. His art in lite had been lonur und faithfully nerlhrmed. Iu his own last word, "he hud alwavs done hia dutv. and was not afraid to die."

The Journal of American Medical science contains a notice of the perfect recovery of a man from au injury of tho bruin, caused by a tamping iron being shot di rectly through his head. The iron was three feet sev en inches long, ouo inch and a quarter iu diameter, ami weighing thirteen and a quarter pounds. It entered the cheek behind and below Ihe mouth, passed up be- und ttie left eye and went out at ihe top of the head, and was picked up sovernl rods distant covered with blood aud brains.

Thurstou, delegate from Oregon, has writ ten a letter in teply to an inquiry from Horace Maim in which he states that slave labor eon bo profitably em. pioyrd in Oregon, California and New Mexico. He found hi opinions on the simple fact that wages are high in those districts, that consequently there is a de-maud for labor, and slave labor, being capital, would follow the laws of capital, aud go where there is the most demand for it. Now it seems lo us, be has forgot' ten another law of capital to go only where it Is safo. The question arises whether among tho doserta, fast nesses, and mountain of New Mexico and California, slave capital would be safe. Or to say nothing of the facilities of deserting to them rocks and hiding places, outd not a slave easily secrete enough to pay bis pas sage to a foreign country. The argument ot Mr. Thurs ton would prove that slavery would be profitable in Ohio, which the actual experiment would soon prove the opjHisite. So we think it would in California. That kind of capital which, like slave labor, possesses the power of voluntary locomotion, must be tried by law peculiar to itself. 7We learn that there have been several cases of holera within a day or two past, and that yesterday afternoon a man died iu the south-east part of the city.

Tho newnpajiar of the country are now rife with speculations ab'out the administration of Fillmore, its policy on tho disputed questions of the day, ihe cabinet, &c. Of course there is much labor of love expen ded iu the premises. Almost every Alitor and writer feels culled upon, to construct a cabinet, and to make out a line of policy wherein they are to travel. We have no means of knowing what course win ue pursued, other than that which is common to all citizens. Wo have known President Fillmore, iu his pub lie career, us one of Uie firmest, most intelligent, and most patriotic whig of tho nation. We remember him as the gallant leader of the whig House of Repre sentatives in 1842, aud, as chairman of the committee of Ways and Means, the main architoct of framing the Tariff of that year, and the most able defender of il during its passage through Congress, By hisnctsthen, he became thoroughly identified with the doctrine of protection to Americanindustry. His career as Comptroller nf the State of New York, was eminently successful and popular; and ho only retired tfierefroin when the people of the nation called upon him lo fill tho chair of Vice President of these States. No man is more thoroughly identified with the leading measures of whig policy thau.tho President His sympathies, his party associations, the mature convictions of his sobor judgment, all go to make him a whig.' As such, bo hus nlwi,s preaenled himself to tho peo ple, both of New York aud the nation. As such, ho has been frequently elected to places of great honor and trust. As such, he was nominated and elected to the Vice Presidency and, a inch, he now succeeds to the Presidential chair. We therefore expect he will carry out the policy to which he bo so long been attached. We have no fear upon this score. Wo shall expect that he will continue the same itolicy that had beeu marked out, and adopted by President Taylor. There is no disguising the fact that that policy wu fast winning to its support nut only the leading minds, but the mass of the American people. The " bitter end" policy that hus been pur sued, with so much rancor, and zeal by his opponents, who lost place and power by bis advent, for a time suc ceeded in prejudicing the public mind against the wise and torn pe rnto measures of tho President. But time, which sets "all things even," wo fast regulating this business, and, iu regard to the vexatious questions that aro uow pending beforo Congress, the policy of the resident was vindicating its superior wisdom, aud for cing a conviction of its excellence upon even unwil ling minds, all over the laud. Wo observe that some papers are disposed to think that Ihe new administration will change this policy, and bo more inclined to placo itself on tho plan of the compromise, as embodied in tho famous " Omnibus bill." We do not know tho process of reasoning by which any person come to this result. If we know anything f public opinion, especially iu the whig states of the Union, it is most decisive and emphatic iu favor of Pre- lent Taylor' plan over that of Mr. toote' Omnibus -heme. And we cannot, for a moment believe thu1 resident Fillmore is disposed to go over to the enemy, nd thus desert the friend of President Taylor in the position they have so long and to ably occupied. Wo hove not boen able to discover any thing in the aspect of our affairs that makes such a course advisable. We do uot believe that any such reasons exist. In Ohio, we think we risk nothing in saying that ihe Omnibus bill measure has no party to austuiu or defend It does not appeal to the judgment of our citizens a measure of practical wisdom. We say It, to ihe praise of the democratic party of Ohio, that, though heir great leader, Gen. Cass, 1 identified with this measure, and though tho great body of the friends and advocates of it are democrat ; yet so far a they have given an opinion, they have given it in favor of Taylor' plan, and against the plan of their leader. They have found public opinion in Ohio so potent and unanimous upon this subject that they have not dared to array themselves against it, and have beeu forced along by the current to subscribe to the policy of Gen. Taylor. The late democratic C omentum iu this city, emphat ically condemned Gen. Cass, and upheld Gen. Taylor, when they resolved that the Democracy of Ohio wa in favor of the immediate admission ol California, aud New Mexico, without (he restrictions of the Omnibus bill. Such is public opinion in Ohio, There is no doubt on the subject. Such, wo believe to be public opinion if the north, generally. Such, moreorpecially, we be lieve to bo tho opinion of tho Whigs of Ihe W lug States: il wo can see no motive whatever, that should induce he new administration to change tho course of affairs, We desire every man should desire thnt this slave- i-y question should bo settled, so far as tho General Government is concerned; wo desire to get the discus sion of it removed from the Hulls of Congress. But we will not consent to sacrifice everything to obtain that result; more especially, aa the south insist upon unjust and improper terms. We see no good rqasnn why Con gress should not take up the various questions pending, separately, and determino each npon it own intrinsic merit With the vote npon these, both parties should be satisfied; or, if not satisfied, should at least submit to the majority. We see no good reaspn why Congress should legislate with pistol and dagger drawn upon them, and refuso to decide national questions properly ltr ear that one portion will violently resist such a de cision. Iu 183o, the South triumphed on the vital ques tion of Protection. The North submitted. No threat nf armed resistanceof dissolution was heard. Why, then, should there be now; and if there is, why should it bo heeded, and it be allowed to influence the mind or vote of any member of Congress T Frederick Douglasa. This black orator, who has attained so great notori ety for his bold assaults on our institutions, spoke in the State House yesterday at 3 and 7 P. M. Many uf our citizeus, induced by curiosity, went to hear him. In his first sWl'ch, he dwelt chiefly on the injustice of American shivery, aud defended himself from the barge of treason brought against him for his speeches in Englund, and disunion sentiments, by saying, he had country to which he could prove a traitor. At 7, r. M., ho spoko on the future destiny of the African race in America, and argued that the prejudico against color would be gradually obliterated, and the two races would live on oquid terms, as expatriation wasimpossible. Douglass has a fine voice for speaking, and uses ex-ltent language, and we think if his talents were em ployed iu some practical scheme for the improvement of his race, that bo might effect much. At night, some half grown boys in the gallery eu- denvored to create a disturbance by stamping, which waaliowoverprwiMPWyB down by the orderly por tion of our citizens. We detest this spirjt of monocra cy, particularly when exercised against the weak, however obnoxious their sentiment are. If Individ ual do not wish to hear what is said at a public moot ing, let them stay away, and not disturb those who wish to hear. Such conduct is a violation of the equal rights of a portion of the community. The public press, while condemning all suchdoctrine as those ad vocated by Douglass, ought to be equally prompt in rebuking the mob spirit, which in its fickleness may soou le turned against some better cause, and persecution will only strengthen a bad cause, aa all experience demonstrates.

The Statesman ou Eulogies). Wo did nut feel very bad because the editor of the Statesman did not attempt to eulogise Gen. Taylor. Tho editor bus neither the head nor tho heart to do nuy thing but a botched job if he should undertake it. On Monday he hod several wise aud witty sayings about the subject. He says: "Our grief may have been as sincere, but not as silly. Our regrets may nave been us disinterested, though not as ridiculous. The true mourner does not go out iu the streets and say aloud, ' O just see how I weep ! ' but rather grieves silently in spirit and in truth."

We don't thmk we could improve the sinking beauty of the ubovo extracts by any comcnts we could bestow. If tho absurdly ridiculous has any profouiuler lenth. then God help the mau that tumbles into it. The idea of the Statesman, under tho editorial control of, Mr. Medary, announcing "the still more glorious tri umphs" of Gen. Jucksou " in n world of bliss," and that this inexpressible privilege was vouchsafed to him before he retired from the control of that paper to private life! is so splendidly silly, so incomparably ridicu lous, that it could only be eclipsed by ihe same great intellect on a similar eventful subject We congratulate the public that Medary 1ms discov ered, within the last five years, that "silent grief" is altogether a superior article to any form of woe that he could devise. For the credit of the press and the :ity, and tho few friends he has left, wo are glad he lid not "go into the streets and suy aloud: 'Oh. just see how I weep!"

Truly sir, was it uid iu the communication read t in. that a " great man has fallen among u." The Uie President of the United States, originally a soldier by profession, having gone through n long mid splendid ca reer of military service, had, at the roe of the lalo war with Mexico, Imcome so much endeared to the people of the United States, and h id inspired them with so high a degree of regard and confidence, that without solicitation or application, without pursuing any devious paths of policy, nr turning a hair's hi end th to the right or the left from the path of duiy.a great and pow erful, and gotiernus people saw tit, by popular vote mid voice, to confer upon him the highest civil authority in the nation. Ve cannot lorget Ili a as in other instances so iu this, the public feeling was won and carried away, in some degree, ny the eclat ol military renow n. So it has been always, mid so it always will bo, because high respect for noble feat iu arms Ins been, ami id way will bo ontMiiircd I nun the hearts ol the mem bers nf a popular government Hut it will lie a great mistake to suppose that the Into President of the Uni ted States owed Ins advancement to nigh civil trust, ot itis great acceptability with the people, to military tnl cut or ability alone.

And I have observed tnorethm once, in una and in other popular govoniments. Hint the provuleut motive wiih the masses of mankind for conferring high power on individual, is a confidence in their mildness, their pntTiial, protecting, secure nnd safe character.

Mr. Secretary, mv friend from Louisiana (Mr. Downs) has detailed briefly the events in the military career of General Taylor. His service through life was mostly on the frontier, and always a hard service often in combat with the tribes of indiaus all along the frontier for so many thousands ol miles. It has beeu justly remarked by one nf ihe most eloquent men whose voire was ever heard in those houses, that it is not in Indian 1 war that heroes am celebrated, but it is there th it i they are formed. The hard servico, tho stern disciji-liue, devolving upon all those who have a great extent nf frontier hi defend, and often wiih irregular troops of their own, being called on suddenly to outer into con-1 tests with savages, to study the habits of savage 1 fe and savage war, in order to foresee nnd overcome their stratagem il these thing tend to make hardy mm-1 tary eharncler.

And believe tue, Senators, if a result so propitious could have been foreshadowed to that departed patriot iu the lust strug-gling moment of hi existence, it would have cheered tho agonio of hi dying hour. I am permitted to say, in illustration of tho ttrong and patriotic feeling which animated him in the latest moments of his existence, even when the light of intellect was flickering in it socket I am permitted to repeat the expression of the departed patriot, as his recollection turned to tho recent visit he had made to the . monument now being erected to the memory of Washington, " Let it rise, (he said,) let it ascend without interruption ; lot it point to the skies let it stand forev er, as a lasting monument of the gratitude and affection of a free people to tho Father of his Country." xuo ucBuoii wan mi, auu uie resolutions were unanimously agreed to. Mexican Boundary t'oiumlMlon. Since the confirmation of Mr. Bartlett at Commissioner for running the bouudary line between the Uui-ted States and Mexico, he has been busilv acmnied in arranging Ins corps of Engineers, Surveyors, &c., which i to commute the Commission: and we uow leara that it ha been completed. 1 tie point ot departure, as wo have before stated, hat been changed from the Pacific side to the Hio Grande. Tho Commissioners of the United Slates and Mexico will meet at El Paso on the first of November, when tho survey of the boundary will be returned. The plan, we understand, i to begin by tracing the line westward. The treaty of Gaudaloupo Hidulgo provi-detl for run u in g the line as follows : " Begimiiugatthe point where the Rio Grande strike the Southern Iwundnry 0f New Mexico; thence weat-wardly, along the whole Southern boundary of New Mexico, (whuh mn nor.h of the town called El Pato,) to it Western termination ; thence Northward, along the Western line of New Mexico, until it intersects the ' first branch of the River Gila, or if it should nut intersect any branch of that river, then to the point on the said line nearest to such brauch, and thence in a direct liue to the same." The determination of this line is the most diffioult part of the whole survey, as it exteuds along an irag- , i nary line, which has been the bouudary between the" States of Chihuahua aud New Mexico since the earliest settlement of Uie country. But as nothing is known of the country along tins line, and as the maps all dif-. fer in defining it, it may prove a serious obstacle, as it provides lor the boundary a laid down in DitturajeH'e map of Mexico, published iu 18-17, which map, we be. lieve, it a Mexican map, reprinted in New York, wiifc . some additiuu. After striking th? River Gila, the dif. liculiiesu fur a determining the line are overcome. This is a niural bouudary, and the Commissioners will only have to trace this river to its junciion with the Colorado, near the head or gulf ot'OjIif .rnia. Alter eom. pletiug this portion of the line, the Oummittiuntrt will return to El Paso, and trace this river a.m twulva hnn. dred miles, until it mingles its water with those of the Gulf of Mexico. Tins will be the most extensive line of survev evr made in the Uuited States, extending more than two thousand miles, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and mostly through a country scarcely kuowo, except by c iaMu mmiii ui au army, wiiuum any opportunity to examine its resources. To Bccompluh tuch a work, beyond the bounds of civilization, where for seven or eight hundred mile there exist neither village nor hamlet, and where the lord of the toil ttifl maintain their independence, in Humbert and in strength tar surpassing that ot an tribe east nf the Rocky M ouu tains, it a task uot unattended with difficulties. The organization of a party of eighty or a buudred men, consul in a: of engineer. surveyors, and their assistants, and a large body of mechanics and laborers, to lake the field for two or three years, is a matter requiring much preparation. In regard to the organization of the Commission, we leant that it will cousist of three complete and separate parties uf engineers, surveyors, and their attendant. One of these kt to run and mark the boundary between the United States aud Mexico, agreeable to the treaty ( the others st mak examinations, surveys, aud run hue of level from the Rio Grande to the P itic, a required by the sixth article of the treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, which provides for the examination of ttie country, aud the collection of information relative to the con struction of a "mud, canal or railway. Such an examination at it contemplated In thit article, must be an accurate survey to be of any value. A military rocon nuisance was made by 01. Emory, in hit rapid march with General Kearney, whkh, at far at ft goct, is verygood t but no examination was made be yond Ihe line of march, at it was nut possible) hence, we are in total ignorance at to the practicability of a communication across for either a road or a railway. It is possible that an accurate survey of the country on both side of the Gila, at provided for in the treaty, may open tn ua valley which may present a direct ami practicable mute tn California. If it should prove practicable for a railway, then ihe most serious obstacle is obviated in the construction of the Great Railway connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific. From ihe Rio Grande, this great channel of communication, whether a mem road or railway, might le connected with the contemplated railroad to Missouri, Arkansas, or Text, a might be found most expedient It it to be hoped that the opportunity which will be presented by the ow movement! of the engineer, necessary in an accurate examination of the extensive region norih and south of the Gila, may be embraced to send a corps of trientifio men to accompany the commission. This cars should consist of skilful geol-ogistt and mineralogists, botanists, naturalists, artists, &c. It is fif the highest importance that we should know, as soon as possible, what are the re onrces of the vhI aud unexplored region lying north nf the Gila, lietween the Uio del Norte and the Pacific. Much of it is doubtless a desert, while another portion, we have every mason lo believe, is a rich diluvial country. The valley of iho groat Colorado and iu tributary streams, are known to sustain large tribes of ludisns; and the waters of thrse united river, at they empty themselves into the Gulf of California, come charged with wa hi tigs from the hind similar to that presented by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. But the soil aud agricultural resources ot this region are not the only inducements lore scientific exploration of it. Its metalt and minerals are of great imMtrtance Copper and lead.it is known, abide near the Gil. Mines of quicksilver, of greater value than gold itself, were formerly known hero, and some are still worked in western California. Gold was found by the Span-tarda who conquer d the country in l.'50-litU, and the numerous evidences of silver mines still tn be traced hem, show the extent tn which this metal exist throughout the country. This region, once occupied by the Spaniards, has long since been reclaimed by ihe Indians; but tho ruins of deserted villages, with ifeep aunkeu pits whence ihe om was extracted, mark the extent to which the Spaniards had ex tend til their settlements, and from what source they derived their support. From ihe alight examinations made by Col. Emory in hw rrconnoistan.ee of the Gila, and of Col.. Fremont in Ins rapid join iie-ys across ihe country, they were both impressed with a strong belief of the existence of mineral treasure of great value. The coat of the old Conei Ifntlon.
